Let me first say, I'm not a big fan of the nautical look.
It is a style that can go very wrong, very easily.
I shudder to think leaving home resembling
Mrs Howell or Muffy Regatta Queen of the Seas.

About $70US ModCloth's All for Nautical Dress |
When considering the nautical look, I say
Be Ye Warned!
There's a fine line between looking ship-shape
and being made to walk the plank.
Elwood Hardline Vintage Black & White Stripe Knit Dress, $90AU at Surf Stitch |
I think this collection of dresses is dreamy.
And although they might fit loosely into a nautical theme,
my hope is that all of you Dressologists
make the look your own.
Milly Lace-up Cotton Blend from The Outnet on sale now |
Throw overboard any notion of navy blazers with gold buttons, penny loafers and straw hats.
Instead go full speed ahead with the unexpected.
Secret Squirrel Lagoon Halter Dress at BirdMotel about $185AU |
Combine with fitted leather jacket, leggings, bedazzled sky-high stilettos or chunky ankle boots.
You get the picture! Think Anti-Sailor Sailor...

Zing some bold personal style into it and
you will avoid looking like a prop on Gilligan's Island and
instead will be ready for smooth sailing ahead.
Forever 21 Navy & Gray T-shirt Dress, $17US |
Kate Sylvester Fredrica Dress at Fashion Artiste $142AU |

horrible seafaring cliches...
Ahoy, Matey.

Your dress selection is really cool. I love the Bird Motel and surf stich ones.... you are right about navy fashion, you need to be very careful how and where you wear it.
